about.
The question of the day is thefirst, and I said the first.

(01:29):

So if you were going on a roadtrip say you were going to vegas
what would be the first songthat you would add to that

That, that Nope.

Jay Franze (01:47):
That All right.
So if you would like to join inon our shenanigans, please make
your comments over in thecomments section and we will
read them off a little later inthe show.

Tony Scott (01:59):
All right.

Jay Franze (02:00):
Well, you know, I'm a big fan of the band Five
Finger Death Punch.
You are.
It's a band that I learned aboutand I follow a little bit.
Yeah, so I like the band.
But a while back we had BruceRyder on the show.
It was from episode 67.
Before I forget to tell people,People seem to get mad at me
when I do things like that.
But back on episode 67, BruceRyder he's the live sound

(02:23):
engineer for the band FiveFinger Death Punch.
He was on the show, told me abunch of interesting stories.
But today Five Finger DeathPunch is re-recording their
classic hits because they justgot in a little scuffle with
their record label.
So they are pulling a TaylorSwift.

You just took the words right out of my mouth.

Jay Franze (02:46):
We've talked about that right.
So what happened is theirrecord label decided to sell
their catalog.
They have the right to do that.
They can sell their catalog butthey decided to go ahead and
sell the catalog and they didn'toffer it to Five Finger Death
Punch, they just sold it andthen told them what they did.
So Five Finger Death Punchwould have purchased their

(03:06):
catalog.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (03:09):
But because they didn't offer it to them, they
sold it off to somebody else.
And now Five Finger Death Punchsays well, that's fine, Well,
we'll go back in the studio andwe will rerecord all those songs
now.
So there's going to be a DeathPunch version.

So wait a minute, okay, so.
So let's just say Sony, okay,you sign up with to be with Sony
, and then you create 10 albumswith them.
Those 10 albums, that's yourquote.
Unquote catalog.

Jay Franze (03:39):
That would be your catalog.
Yes, okay, in this case let'ssay Sony, cause they're a record
label and a publisher.
Okay, so the publishing companywould own the rights to the
music and the band would be onthe label whether they own the
rights to the music or not.
So the label signs the band andthey put together, typically
like a three album deal orsomething like that.

Okay.

Jay Franze (04:01):
And the band would go ahead and record those three
albums and then they promotethem and if at the end of the
three years they think it's agood relationship and things are
going well, everybody's makingmoney and everybody's happy,
they will re-sign that deal formaybe another three records.

How often do people re-sign?

Jay Franze (04:17):
Not very often.
We've established that withMiranda Lambert, had a hard time
resigning her contract andshe's a great artist, great
singer and great music and stillhas a hard time resigning.
You know, I was listening toTL's Roadhouse today with Tim
McGraw and they were talkingabout how the bands from the 90s

(04:39):
were probably the best eracountry music and both of them
being from the 90s as well bestera country music and both of
them being from the 90s as well.
But how very few of those bandsfrom the 90s or artists from
the 90s even have record dealsany longer.
So it's just crazy how the theindustry works I'm still
perplexed about this catalog.

We gotta, we still need to go back, go back,
okay.
So it just seems commoncourtesy.
Why wouldn't they have reachedout to Five Finger Death Punch
and say, hey, do you want to buythis catalog?

Jay Franze (05:10):
Well, the labels usually make deals all the time.
Publishing companies make dealsall the time.
It's just like you know, I havea mortgage for my house and the
company that I got the mortgagewith sold it to somebody else.
So it's a gamble.
It's a business deal like anyother.

Wow, scandalous.
Who knew?
I did not realize all that'sgoing on behind the scenes.
It's like one song, but man,everybody's got their hands in
it.

Jay Franze (05:37):
Yeah, so I mean it's a big deal.

Wow Okay, somebody gave me a hard time.

Jay Franze (05:44):
Once Everybody says don't give up your publishing.
And I had a song, do very wellat one point and somebody said,
well, you gave up 50% of yourpublishing.
I said, no, I did not give up50% of my publishing.
I made a deal with thepublisher, which is a very
common deal.
They take half for theirefforts because they have the
contacts and the network to sellthe song or put it in TV shows

(06:06):
or movies or whatever thatperson does.
And I sit back and collect halfof the money.
Seems fair to me.
I can have half of a deal, or Icould have a hundred percent of
nothing.
So like when I had the song putin Saturday Night Live, that
was a big deal.
And the publishing company gothalf the money and then myself
and the other person I wrote thesong with, split the other half

(06:28):
.

Everybody was happy and it all went to your
wife and your girls.

Jay Franze (06:33):
Well, it does now.
That was a long time ago.

Oh Well, then it went to buy in Von.

Jay Franze (06:38):
Ray a beer.
Then it went to hookers andblow.
Oh my gosh, those were my dogsHookers and Blow.

Yeah, yeah, on that note of Blow and Hookers,
we're talking about Foreigner.

Jay Franze (06:58):
I was a huge fan of Foreigner growing up.
Me too, you're not going tooffend me by talking about
Foreigner growing up Me too.

You're not going to offend me by talking about
Foreigner.
Well, Kelly Hansen, whorevitalized Foreigner as the
lead vocalist since 2005,announced his departure during
the performance on the Voice onMay 20th.
Guitarist Louis.
Am I saying it right, Louis, oris it Louis this time?

Jay Franze (07:21):
It's a name I always sayis, but okay, I don't know,
louis louis maldonado whateverit's an italian name.
Good for him maldonado.

He's going to step in as the new front man.
The band is preparing for the50th anniversary in 2026 with
plans of a celebratory tour anddocumentary.

Jay Franze (07:43):
I would like to watch the documentary my concern
with it is there is not anoriginal member in the band
Foreigner At this point.
That is a tribute band.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (07:54):
Seriously not an original member in that band,
which goes to show you it's whatI say.
Especially we mentioned Kiss inthe past.

with makeup, it's real easy for them to have that
band continue yeah but thisgoes to prove that the bands
will continue on well, and um usjust talking about, you know
everybody having their hand inthe pot.
I mean, the publishing canchange hands, the recordings can
change hands and the band titlecan change hands.

(08:26):
Yeah.

Jay Franze (08:28):
And that's a big deal.
Yeah, bands fight over the nameof the band, a lot Like the
band Rat.
It's one of my favorite bandsfrom the eighties.
The singer is not allowed touse the name Rat and it was his
band, he came up with it andhe's not allowed to use it, so
he has to go out as StevenPiercy from Rat.
So it's just crazy to me.

I can't imagine coming up with the name myself,
and then all the blood, sweatand tears to build up the band
and it becomes famous and thenone of your bandmates screws you
over and now you can't use thename that you came up with Such
garbage.
I will tell you what me itscrews you over and now you
can't use the name that you cameup with?

Jay Franze (09:05):
yeah, such garbage I will tell you what.
You ever bust my cookies overthe show and take the name away
from me, it's going to be thetiffany mason show and I'll
continue on.
I'll continue on saying I'mtiffany mason for the rest of my
life, but no, I mean that's.
That's the thing.
That's the deal.
Bands do it.
All the time Queensryche,queensryche fought over the name

(09:26):
in Jeff Tate, who goes byOperation Mindcrime Jeff Tate's
Operation Mindcrime which wasone of their big hit albums, and
then the rest of the band wentback on and got a new singer and
they continued to callthemselves Queensryche.
So it's like which one do yougo with the singer or the band?

I just can't imagine being I don't know.
I just don't think I'm likethat where I feel good about
taking what you built.
I don't think I could do it.
But I know that the musicindustry is very cutthroat and
people get greedy and you know,I'm sure, but it just seems wild
to me.
Yeah well, mr brucespringsteen's been here for a

(10:09):
few weeks take two mr brucespringsteen unveils tracks to
the lost albums.
Bring uh, springsteen.
Clearly I'm having a problemwith it.
Springsteen has released acollection of the 82 previously
unreleased songs recordedbetween 83 and 2018, you know,

(10:32):
from back in the 1900s, 1983 to2018, the nine LP box set offers
insight to his expansive career.

Jay Franze (10:43):
Let me ask you if they're unreleased songs, if
they didn't release them back in1982, do you think they're?

good songs.
Well, we've talked about itbefore.
You know, maybe the audiencewasn't ready for them yet, Jay.

Jay Franze (10:55):
Okay, good point.

Maybe we're all ready now.
Maybe those songs from the1900s are going to be relevant
in this century.

Jay Franze (11:06):
There you go.
Hey, you know his style ofmusic.
That could actually work right,because it's not going to sound
any different.
It's him and a guitar, anacoustic guitar.
It's going to sound the samethen as it does now.
The difference is the topicsthat he sings about.

Yeah, Well, I don't know if he's singing about
sex, drug and rock and rollback in 83.
I don't know if it's relevantnow, but I don't know, maybe.
We'll see.
I guess time will tell right.
My dad always says live longenough, you'll find out.
So if we live long enough,we'll find out.

Jay Franze (11:41):
Well, I guess now we have to.

Now we have to live All right.
Hinder is set to release theirseventh album Back to Life on
May 23rd.
This marks their first album inover seven years and features
singles like Bring Me Back toLife and Everything Is a Cult.
The band will embark on theBack to Life Tour 2025 with

(12:04):
support from Saliva.
Sylvia Saliva, sylvia no Saliva, definitely Saliva Kingdom
Collapse and Kelsey Hickman.

Jay Franze (12:20):
What you didn't like Saliva.

Yes, you have've never heard ofthem.

Jay Franze (12:26):
Yes, you have You've heard their music.
Click, click, boom.

Oh.

Jay Franze (12:30):
You know that song right.

Mm-hmm, I believe I do.

Jay Franze (12:35):
That was the song that I liked from them.

So we should talk about where bands came up with
the name of their band.

Jay Franze (12:42):
You know what would be a good way to do that?
Tell me now.
Get them on the show and tellus.

Well, Saliva, you're the first one we want on.

Jay Franze (12:53):
Let's see if we can make that happen, not just
Saliva coming on the show.
Well, let's see if we canfigure out where the names of
bands come from.

Jim Morrison.
It says his statue wasdiscovered.

Jay Franze (13:01):
Who is he?
Oh, you seriously don't knowwho he is.

I know who he is, but I don't know what he sings.
I know who he is, for sure who.

Jay Franze (13:14):
I don't want you to tell me.

No, I know.

Jay Franze (13:18):
Read the rest of your headline.
I'm sure you can probablyfigure it out.

Well, no, no, okay, don't say where from?

Tony Scott (13:26):
Well, no, no.

Okay, don't say where from.
Anyways, it says his statue.
It wasn't his statue, it washis bust, which is like your
head up right.
So his bust was discovered 37years after being stolen from
the singer oh, from the doors.

Jay Franze (13:41):
Singer's grave, okay it wasn't that mine.

Light dawns over marble head oh so the late
american singer and poet.
It went missing from his gravesite in paris almost 40 years
ago, 37 to be exact, and it hasnow been found, according to the
french police.
So if you're gonna be overthere, I looked at it, though
it's got all kinds of graffitiall over it, like who the F are

(14:08):
these people?
Leave stuff alone, and why doeshe have a bus in front of his
gravesite?
Anyway, well, he's Jim Morrison.

Jay Franze (14:15):
He was.
He was the Jim Morrison, youknow, the one you don't know.

Oh, jim Morrison, it's that guy the very famous
singer.

Jay Franze (14:28):
Tiffany doesn't know .

You know there's been movies that have been made
about him and everything,whatever, whatever.

Jay Franze (14:40):

So I gotta throw celine inthere, because that's what I
used to always do devin saysuptown funk, uptown Funk.

Jay Franze (27:10):
Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars.

I like that song.
You know what?
That song was a soundtrack toone of the conferences that my
husband and I attended.
You know, my husband is veryquiet and he's very reserved and
he's very you know all theintrovert things and there was
like a little camera crew outthere and they would make these

(27:33):
videos throughout the day andthen they would play them on the
tv in our hotel rooms.
That song was playing and Ipushed sean into the pool and so
that was one of the scenes thatmade the reel or whatever that
day.
And so we go up to the hotelroom and that song is playing
and it just you know, they'renot very long, I don't know two
minutes or something, and thenit would just play again.
And it would play again.

(27:53):
I'm like, oh watch, here we go,here we go, I'm gonna push you
in and was he happy with you atthat moment?
he was because he had quite afew margaritas and so he didn't
mind it at all you had drownedhim.
I got it no I see where you'regoing with that it was was only
three feet deep, he's fine, oh,that's even better.

Jay Franze (28:12):
Crack his skull open .
I got it.
Oh my gosh, you're good at thisstuff.
Work with my wife.
She watches all those TV showsthat teach you how to kill
somebody.

They scare me.
Yeah me too.
It scares me that my wifewatches so much of it.
Derek says, well, if it's gonnabe Tiffany going on a road trip
, wouldn't it be enter Sandmanby Metallica.

I mean, I'd still listen to it, I'd still get
fired up, just a different way,nice.

Jay Franze (28:54):
Let's see if there's any others worth mentioning.

According to Jay.
According to Jay Francia, fromthe 1900s.
I don't know why I'm fixated onthat today.

Jay Franze (29:06):
Savannah says Edge of 17 Stevie Nicks.
I only mentioned that for you?
Yes, I'm such a dumbasssometimes.

Jay, talk nice to yourself.

Jay Franze (29:21):
I was going through to see if there was any worth
mentioning.
I'm like I don't recognize anyof these names.
It's the names of the peoplewho wrote them, not the name of
the artist.
I'm like huh of the people whowrote them, not the name of the
artist.
I'm like huh.
There's a few others, but let'send with these last couple here
.
A very, very good song.
I mean very good song.

(29:41):
Andrew Metallica actuallycovered the song.

But Colin says Turn the Page by Bob Seger.
Oh, so that's a good one.

Jay Franze (29:55):
And let's end on our favorite previous guest, rocky
Rose, out with Cyndi Lauper.
Tasha says I drive all night byCyndi Lauper Ah.

Um, but Jay, oh no.
I Drive All Night by CyndiLauper.
Ah, but Jay, oh no.
I don't know if you said whatyou would put on a playlist.

Jay Franze (30:17):
I did.

Didn't we start that way?

Jay Franze (30:20):
I feel like I started.
I said Tracy Chapman.

Drive.
Oh, you were serious, no.

Jay Franze (30:27):
That's the first one that came to mind.
I said if we were being cutesy.

Yes, okay, yes, okay, okay.
Fair enough, it's the memorything.

Jay Franze (30:37):
I have a bad memory and you're the one forgetting
things.

In the world of country music we have Miss Dolly
Parton.
So the Country Music Hall ofFame in Nashville has unveiled a
new exhibit titled Dolly PartonJourney of a Seeker Nice
problem I thought you were goingto say she's doing a collab
with Journey.

Jay Franze (30:57):
I was going to get all excited.

No no.
Opened through September 2026,.
It showcases her rise fromSmoky Mountains to global
stardom, featuring personalartifacts like handwritten
lyrics on iconic and iconicoutfits.
It'd be cool if the lyrics werewritten on her outfits.
Parton now 79, attended theopening and announced plans for

(31:20):
her own museum in downtownnashville she is one of the
nicest people in the world, forsure.

Jay Franze (31:29):
Nothing but good things to say about Dolly.
Everybody I know that hasactually spent quality time with
her says she's awesome andshe's great to the community.
Everything in Nashville, oreven in East Tennessee, is Dolly
this and Dolly that, and I likethe fact that she's willing to
experiment.

Experiment in what way.

Jay Franze (31:51):
Musically.

Oh, I didn't know if you meant like with the
parks and that kind of stuff.

Tony Scott (31:57):
I didn't know if you meant with your husband or you
know I wasn't trying to leftlane.

No, no, well, not anymore, for sure.
But Too soon, too soon, toosoon it's never been harder.

Jay Franze (32:16):
We took a hard left.
Let's bring it back.

We didn't just take a left, we just we took a
left, we went off the road in astorm I have recently in my life
met three people that felt toogood to be true, but that's just
who they are.
They're just really thatamazing and that good.

Jay Franze (32:37):
So it's me and who else?

Well, it was a short list.
Your name didn't quite make it,but Whoa.

Tony Scott (32:48):
Damn, tiffany're fired.

Trump.

Tony Scott (32:57):
No.

Oh, I see how it is your name doesn't get on the
list and you fire me.

Tony Scott (33:04):
Yeah.

Cool.
Nothing better to do.
All right, mr Alan Jackson, thecountry legend.
All right.

Jay Franze (33:19):
Mr Alan Jackson, the country legend.

he performed his final tour show in Milwaukee,
citing health issues related towhoa, let's just say chronic
health issues we don't have tobe specific, some kind of tooth
disease At 66, jackson plansfarewell concert in Nashville
and hinted at future music musicproduct.
Wow, future music projects,despite retiring from the road.
The sad part is you guys, weread through these before I read

(33:45):
through all of these before theshow.

Jay Franze (33:47):
I don't read at all.

Oh well, I read through them so that I don't
make these kind of mistakes.
But you know.

Jay Franze (33:54):
I didn't realize he was only 66.

I didn't either.
I would have guessed him older.

Jay Franze (33:59):
Yeah, I would have guessed him older.
I don't know if you saw any ofthe video from it, but I was
able to see the video of thelast song and have him get up
and walk off stage.
It was pretty sad.
I didn't realize he was havinga hard time, but he got up there
, he performed.
He sounded great.
But then he.
There was what appeared to belike a bodyguard standing next

(34:19):
to him and he was there forsupport, like alan had to hold
his arm to walk off stage andstuff.
Kind of reminded me of tobykeith, kind of reminded me of to
Keith Kind of reminded me ofToby Keith when he walked off
stage.
It was just rough seeingsomebody you know that you've
listened to forever and seeinghim struggle.

Well, I feel like it's kind of like when people
say that they see their daddecline in health, you know, and
it's like these greatcelebrities and then we're
reminded that they're mortal,just like us.
Yeah.

Jay Franze (34:55):
It used to be, people would stop before they
got to that point.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (35:00):
These days, they just keep going.

Yeah, I have this .
I have the song just like onrepeat in my head and it's
Rascal flats, uh, Mayberry, butit's the the line.
Sunday was a day of rest.
Now it's one more day forprogress and it's kind of like

(35:23):
that, Like I mean, we're alljust like you know, you just
have to keep pursuing thealmighty dollar because life is
just expensive.
And so I think that you acertain lifestyle that they're
used to, and then to maintain it, to keep it, you got to keep
performing, and also it's theirpassion, their love, their
identity, and so yeah, I havenothing against them doing it,

(35:47):
it's just sad when you see ithappen, yeah, yeah.

Jay Franze (35:51):
Tim McGrath thinks he's going to be ending soon
because he says his quote wasand I thought it was as solid of
him to mention as anybody.
He said people don't come tohear me sing, they come to see
me perform.
He said if I get to a pointwhere I can't perform, there's
no point of me just standing inone spot to sing.

So he's self-aware enough to realize
that, which I thought was greatyeah, so yeah sad yeah, we just
see these big personalities andthen they become more normal
yeah well, somebody who is notbecoming more normal is kelsey
ballerini, but she is taking abreak from well, not taking a

(36:34):
break.
She's just done, I guess, withthe Voice.

Jay Franze (36:36):
It was a short, short stint.

Yeah, real short stint, Didn't she just come on
with her boots?
Yeah, Anyway, she's not goingto return as a coach for season
28.
Despite leading her contestantto the second place, finish
Ballerini steps away amid mixedreactions.
The upcoming season's coachingpanel will include Michael Bublé
, Snoop Dogg, Nail Horan I don'tknow who that is and Reba

(37:02):
McIntyre.

Jay Franze (37:04):
All right, let's talk about a couple of these.
We know Reba and everything.
That's great.
She's awesome.
But, Michael Bublé ooh, he isawesome.
I mean, he might not be ourtypical rock or country music,
but he is awesome, supertalented.

Yeah, I got Save the Last Dance that one would
have to go on the road tripplaylist.
Big fan of the Buble.

Jay Franze (37:26):
That segment's over.
It's too late.
Sorry, Michael.

Well, no late submissions.

Jay Franze (37:32):
And then Snoop Dogg.
I get it, he's talented in thatworld.
But can you truly coachsomebody outside of that world
If you come from that world, youmight have the ability to sing
and do that stuff, but I don'tknow, does Snoop have that
ability?

Well, I wonder, does he have the technical
ability?

Jay Franze (37:50):
Yeah, that's the part I'm wondering.
I mean, yeah, technically he'sgot the charisma, by all means
right, he can coach somebody.
He's got the stature orwhatever.

But can he say, like you know, hit the falsetto
harder.

Jay Franze (38:04):
Like I don't know that's the part I'm wondering
technically.
Technically, could he coachsomebody?
I mean, it is a vocal show.
Right Called the Voice, we willhold off opinion until we see
how good you do.
You seem to do good at everyother thing in the world.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (38:21):
Not judging you yet, buddy.

So my dad's name is Dennis.
It's like Dennis says live longenough and you'll find out.
There you go.

Jay Franze (38:29):
Now another reason we have to live longer.
Live long enough and you'llfind out.

There you go Now another reason we have to live
longer.
Well, speaking of the singingshows, a while back we talked
about the Road, which isstarring or featuring Keith
Urban and Blake Shelton, and thefirst episode is going to come
out September 1st on CBS, andthat was the show where they're

(38:51):
basically going to get to, youknow, survive on the road.
So these people go on the road,they perform.
If they do well enough, theyadvance and they go to the next
town, and so we're going to seewhat it's like to see life on
the road.
So that's going to kick offSeptember 1st on CBS.
Nice, yeah, I'm kind of excitedfor that one.

Jay Franze (39:13):
Keith Urban huh.

Yeah, keith Urban , blake Shelton.

Jay Franze (39:18):
All right, fair enough.

I want to meet Blake Shelton in person, just
because everyone says he's sotall.

Jay Franze (39:22):
He's tall.
Yeah, he was one of the firstpeople I met when I moved to
Nashville.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (39:27):
When he had his mullets and all that stuff.
When he had his mullets and allthat stuff.
He's a tall man, Taller than I.
Okay, you know I come in at7'2", so he's got to be at least
13'5" or something.
Yeah.

A giant among men , yeah right.

Jay Franze (39:46):
Oh, all right, let's move on to recommendations, but
before we do, let me clearsomething up from last week.
We were so excited to jump inand talk about the song that I
did not mention the artist orthe song.
We just went ahead and talkedas if everybody knew, and we
talked about it the week before,but the song was Closer to More

(40:08):
, by Maddie McCree.
So if you want to go check itout, please go ahead and do that
, and then you can go ahead andlisten to our episode and hear
our thoughts.
But this week I'll go ahead andlet you introduce your song,
but this week we'll go ahead andmention the artist and the song
.
So please, miss Tiffany, tellus the song that you chose for
me to listen to.

Well, I had been at a wedding and heard a song
Shazammed.
It fell in love with it and itwas by the Miss Lauren Daigle
and it is called Love Like this,and I know that she is talking
about a love with God, but I didlove it in the thought, in the

(40:50):
realm, of being related to twopeople that have just formed a
union and they're starting theirlife together and being
deserving of a love like that.

Jay Franze (40:56):
That's nice.
See, now I thought you weretrying to throw me a monkey
wrench by making me listen toChristian music.
No, I thought you did that onpurpose.

No no.

Tony Scott (41:07):
No Good to know.

Jay Franze (41:08):
But either way, it's funny, there's a lot of
Christian music made inNashville.
That's one of the big genres ofmusic that's done in Nashville.
So I've worked on a lot of it.
I mean I've literally recordedand mixed a lot of Christian
music.
We typically talk country androck and all of a sudden you

(41:29):
mentioned Christian.
I'm like huh, that's, that'scool.
But no, it was very cool.
I liked the song.
It was very, um, it's very softand I mean it did build up
throughout the song, but it wasvery soft.
I mean, in the beginning it hadthat soft piano feel to it as
well and but a very breathy,breathy vocal.

Yes, the context was it was their first dance
together.
So, like, just think of, likethis tender moment these people
are dancing.
You know, they've just gottenmarried and then they're just
like god and mary.

Jay Franze (42:01):
Oh, no way, you're talking about the wedding you
were at yes what were their?

names lindsey and michael, and they just tied the
knot and it was just like sucha intimate you know thing where
they're just like so in lovewith each other and, like you
know, you just said your vows.
You're just like in that ooeygooey.

Jay Franze (42:21):
The song was about unconditional love.
Yeah, I mean it was with God,but yeah, it was unconditional
love nonetheless, yeah.

Yeah, I thought it was nice and I love her voice
.
If you listen to other stuff byher, she can get very soft or
very vulnerable with her voice,but I love that.
It's like I feel like my voiceis doing it right now, where
it's like like that, I don'tknow Like you're singing, you
know, but it sounds good, Idon't know.

(42:49):
I just I really love LaurenDaigle's voice.
It's very growly.

Jay Franze (42:54):
A lot of grit.
It had a very Adele feel to it.

Yes, yes, yep, hit the nail on the head for
sure, hit the nail on the head,jay you just don't hit the nail
on the head.
Oh, so wrong.
You're pretty talented withouthammer.

Jay Franze (43:18):
This is a religious song about God.

Yes.

Jay Franze (43:23):
Just throwing that out there.
This is not one to knock bootsto my friend the lightning come
down and boom.
Not one to knock boots to myfriend the lightning come down
and boom Anyway it was recordedin Nashville.
It was recorded right down theroad from Bob's house.

Oh funny.

Jay Franze (43:41):
Yeah, it's in Franklin, tennessee.
I probably shouldn't be tellingwhere Bob lives, on 38 Walnut
Street.
I probably shouldn't mentionthat it's right around the
corner from the Stop and Shave.
Stop and Shave, stop and Save.
Stop and Shave, stop and Shave.

Stop and Save, stop and Shave.
That's what my wife.

Jay Franze (43:57):
She gets some growth on her way home.
I make her stop and shavebefore she gets to the house.

That's where the lot lizards go they stop and
shave quick.

Jay Franze (44:09):
But yeah, I mean it's kind of cool that it was
recorded out in nashville and Imean part of it recorded at
starstruck.
We mentioned reaver earlieryeah, very cool it was good
overall.
Good had two producers.
I know how we like that oh Imean, the song itself is rather

(44:29):
broken down, but it had a littlebit of a buildup and then all
of a sudden it broke down againand then the second half of the
bridge when it kicked back in,or was probably back into the
chorus.
It kicked in full-blowninstrumentation further than it
was even the first couple times.
So they put a lot of thoughtinto the production.

I think this is one of the very few songs that I
just like it because I like itlike I know that we are picking
songs on you know some some formof criteria, but this is one of
the very few songs that like itwas just a feeling and um, no
criteria.

Jay Franze (45:08):
pick a song, any song that you would just
recommend that somebody me andeverybody else me and the crew a
song that you think we shouldknow about or listen to.
Those are the ones we want toknow, things that we wouldn't
normally find on our own isreally what it's all about.
It's not about anything else.
I mean whatever you think isgood.

Just two of us sitting around by the water
cooler?

Jay Franze (45:32):
Hey, did you happen to hear that song, the one we
were making love to, and gotstruck by?

lightning Stop.
What one would you recommend,Jay?

Jay Franze (45:45):
What I would like you to listen to is probably
something you're not familiarwith.
Art is called Royale Lynn,royale Lynn, royale Lynn, and
the song is called Six Feet Deep.
I'm anxious for you to hear itbecause I think it sums up this
show.
She's a new artist.

(46:06):
I found her on Instagram and itappeared as if she's doing
everything herself for a team ofpeople like local which is
unsigned or whatever, but Ithink that's probably a little
exaggerated.
I think she does have a recordlabel or people behind her.
She's touring with big peopleand she's doing big things, so

(46:28):
she either blew up real quickand got lucky.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (46:32):
Or she's had a team of people, you know, working it
behind the scenes.
But either way, I really likedthe song.

Okay, cool.

Jay Franze (46:40):
She markets herself as a country artist, but this is
a metal song.

Interesting.

Jay Franze (46:48):
Okay, punk country or whatever she calls it, but
you can check it out the thecrew.
You guys can check it out.
Please chime in, let us knowwhat you think this crew will
bring our reviews next week.

All right, well, this is not very entertaining.
It's very sad, but this man wasvery entertaining.
George went the star passesaway at 76.
You may have seen it on socialmedia or on the news.
It was the beloved actor knownfor his role as Norm Peterson on
Cheers.
He died peacefully in his sleepon May 20th and appeared in

(47:24):
every episode from the sitcom 82to 93.
Dang for 11 years and wasnominated for six Emmys.
He also had roles in SaturdayNight Live, the Simpsons and
various stage productions Likedme some, norm.

Jay Franze (47:40):
Great guy, I mean every time I see Cheers, the
only quote I ever think of isNorm.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (47:50):
And living in Boston , I've driven by.
Cheers the original Cheers andthey created a couple little
satellite restaurants.
Like in Faneuil Hall is a bigmarketplace.
They created a restaurant thereand stuff.
It's pretty cool.
But in the picture at the frontwas Norm.
It wasn't the rest of them.
It was Norm, becauseeverybody's expecting to see

(48:13):
norm when they come in yeah soyeah, yeah, it's sad sarah
silverman post-mortem on netflix.

So that's her latest netflix special.
It is emotionally renaissance,am I saying that right?

Jay Franze (48:29):
Resonant.

Resonant Thank you, I knew I was wrong.
Resonant and darkly humorousperformance honoring the memory
of her late parents.
Filmed at New York's BeaconTheater, this special blends
poignant reflections with satireon mortality, family and
personal growth.
Ms Sarah Silverman's back.

Jay Franze (48:50):
I'm going to save my judgment.
I will watch it, I will checkit out.
I enjoyed her earlier in hercareer and then she kind of went
off the rails to me.
So, let's see if she's back ontrack yet, I don't know, maybe
she is Okay.
Again, that's just my opinion,and what does that matter?

It matters because you have a crush on her.
No, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,isn't that what you said?
She?

Jay Franze (49:19):
doesn't know what she's talking about.
I did think she was cute Backin the day.

I thought she was cute, I mean crush, and now you
think she's a smug show.

Jay Franze (49:31):
She was not my exact type, you know, but I thought
she was cute.

She's aight, she's aight.

Jay Franze (49:39):
There's people I think are like.
I would have a crush on that.
I think are like physically.

Like Tina Fey.

Jay Franze (49:45):
You know she's cute too.
I can recognize just generalcuteness and stuff.
They're cute.
They're both cute.
Yeah, yeah, I would agree withthat, but Miss Piggy on the
other hand Not that I don't know, I was trying to think of a

(50:05):
girl that wasn't real, so Ididn't offend, but bestiality
may have crossed the line, Idon't know.

Another hard left well, I'm gonna bring you back
in oh, please, and we're gonnatalk about mr nate bergazzi
bergazzi I like him he istopping tops comedy comedy tour
rating, so he okay.
So he has become the topgrossing comic in a report

(50:40):
earning over $48 million.
Doesn't matter.
In a report On some spreadsheetsomewhere.
It doesn't matter Details,they're foggy but actual
reporting here.

Jay Franze (50:56):
You know, we've already established that we come
.

People come here for facts, okay, so let's give
the people what they want.
So 48 million dollars that he'searned.
His success places himalongside major musical artists,
highlighting the growingpopularity of stand-up comedy.
And could it be becauseeverybody is so stressed out,
depressed, anxious, because lifeis so fast.

(51:22):
Life is a highway man and socomedy helps us to.
You know, comic relief Like ithelps you to release the happy
hormones.

Jay Franze (51:34):
I think comedy has always been there for people.
I think the difference is theinternet and social media are
here now and social media iswhat's bringing comedy to the
forefront.
You know all the scrolling andcomedians have really jumped on
understanding that.

Tony Scott (51:51):
Matt.

Jay Franze (51:52):
Rife being one of the ones that quickly jumped on
that and realized the power ofthe short-form video.
I mean, that's how he blew up.
He blew up because all of hisstuff is really crowd work and
people find that funny.

Yeah, yeah.

Jay Franze (52:10):
Those little quick comebacks and stuff.

Well, because I feel like it doesn't, it's maybe
, no, it's not, it feels likeand it's not rehearsed.
Or you know, like you got to beactually talented to, you know,
be witty like that and havethose quick comebacks, so that's
what makes it funnier.
And then you know, sometimesthey say say, you know, life is
funnier.
What do they say?

(52:34):
Like you can't make up reallife, you know, like like it's
funnier, the real stuff isfunnier than what you could
write, you know.
So sure that makes perfectsense.

Jay Franze (52:46):
No, edit point number 32.

It is true, though, like sometimes just like
the crap that your kids come upwith, like no Edit point number
32.
It is true, though, Likesometimes it's just like the
crap that your kids come up with.

Jay Franze (52:55):
You can't make up this.

No, no, no.
I was going to say, like someLucy stuff, oh my God, I can't
wait to meet that kid.
So anyway, speaking of MattRife, he actually is launching
the Stay Golden Tour, so we'llhave to see if that pops up,
he's already at the golden ageof his career.

Jay Franze (53:20):
Just started and now it's over.

That's how it is, though.
Right, it's a flash in the panman.
He's good.

Jay Franze (53:29):
I saw him perform live.
When he came to town I was ableto go check him out oh, really
yeah I mean I thought it wasgood.
I don't think he's trying toohard.

Me personally.
I don't think he's got enoughexperience under his belt yet.
That's just.
He just seems very wet behindthe ears still to me.

Jay Franze (53:49):
Well, I think what you said earlier about his
comebacks he's very clever andhe's got the ability to be quick
with the comeback.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (53:57):
Now I think what he needs is a little bit of life
experience, to have somethingthat's not a dick joke for the
comeback.

Yeah, yeah.

Jay Franze (54:09):
But you know hey.

I would agree with that.
He's on his way.

Jay Franze (54:12):
He's very good.

I mean he's already reached the golden
section.
He's trying to stay golden,yeah, unless it's a shower,
maybe like the golden boy, Idon't know.

Jay Franze (54:21):
Apparently, we're still stuck on dick jokes too,
so we can't say much.

Because they're funny.

Jay Franze (54:28):
True, fair enough.
No, I really like him.
I do.
I think the specials that he hasout are really good, you know
the ones where he's got plannedjokes you know written jokes I
think are good and then if youend the special and do some
crowd work, I like it when youshow.
You know it's typically an hourlong show when you go see a

(54:49):
comedian and yep, I think if youdo like half hour, 45 minutes
of planned show and then maybe15 minutes of crowd work, I
think that's a good balance.
I like to see your creativitywith your jokes and then follow
it up with crowd work becauseyou know that's really good.
That's probably one of myfavorite things.
But I don't think the crowdwork shines if it's nothing but

(55:13):
crowd work.

Yeah, yeah, it's the whole thing, but I'm about
to eat my words here, so life'sa bitch.
Well, also, I think with crowdwork sometimes you get those
uncomfortable pauses.
You know I don't like that verymuch, so I wouldn't want an
hour of that.

Jay Franze (55:32):
Well, let's go ahead and move on, and I will tell
you why I'm about to eat mywords.

I went to see.

Jay Franze (55:45):
Big Jay Oakerson.
Whoop, whoop.
Vip treatment, vip tickets,tick it one.
But I'm not going to argue, eh,I'll take what I can get.
Yeah, but I went.
It was funny.
You know they seat people.
It's just like the VIP sectionis assigned, the general
admission was not assigned, soit's a three level venue.

(56:07):
It was nice.
It's a place called the LibertyFunny Bone just outside of
Cincinnati, and the seating areathey seat in groups of four or
groups of two.
I was group of one so I'msitting with somebody.
So anyways, they put me deadcenter, like right at the stage.

(56:29):
I mean I was Perfect.
There was two people in frontof me but I sat at the table.
It was a table of four andthere was one people in front of
me.
But I said at the table was atable of four and there was one
couple at it.
They were at the, the firsthalf, closest to the stage.
So I said at the back half andI was getting ready to order
some food and stuff, andsecurity comes up to me, says
sir, can you move up please?
I'm like, okay, that meansthey're gonna sit a group of

(56:53):
four behind me or something.
So I said okay and I move upand I turned to the people.
I said you know, hi, I'm gonnasit with you guys tonight and
they were nice they laughed andwe joked and we ordered food
together and made it, made ajoke out of it, and then nobody
ever came and sat at the tablefor the whole night oh my god,
it's like thanks thanks a lot,but anyways, it put me even one

(57:17):
seat closer to the front.
But the show was amazing, butthe reason why I said I'm about
to eat my words is his entireshow is crowd work.
Oh, I mean nothing but and he'sgood at it yeah he's very good
at it and there is a lot of youknow, whether it be dick jokes
or boob jokes or whatever andsome guy wore short a shirt.

(57:40):
He said to my right and he wasthere with his wife.
But his shirt said I love boobs.
I mean big giant letters.
So he got picked on immediatelyyeah, he was asking for it but
he says my wife made me wear it.
And he turns to the wife andshe says, yep, I'm like okay did
she have big boobs?

she did have big boobs they know what they like.

Jay Franze (58:05):
But I didn't get picked on.
But there was.
There was a girl to my left andshe was sitting there with two
guys and she was with one guywhich was supposedly her best,
her best friend or whatever, andthe other guy was just sat at
their table, so they didn't knoweach other third wheel, like
jay yeah, like me, he called onher all night long because she

(58:28):
was hot.
She was hot and she was wearingvery little yeah, and.
And he thought you know thosetwo were married.
When he found out they weren'tmarried, the entire night was
well, he wants to sleep with you.
You don't know it, but he wantsto, and he was like trying to
convince them to sleep with eachother all night long.

It's like first date.

Jay Franze (58:51):
They were friends.
He said they've known eachother forever.
But he, out of the gate, gother talking about the raunchiest
stuff he said something aboutare you wearing a butt plug, or
something like that oh my goshshe turned to her friend and I
thought it was going to be indisgust.
But she turned to her friendand laughed like, because he

(59:13):
suggested she wear one.
Yeah, yeah, I'm like, well, okay, this just got interesting, but
it was a fun show overall.
He was very, very good, verygood.
I mean I've seen his videosforever, but it was good to get
to see him in person and get tosee his show.

Tony Scott (59:29):
But the openers were really good too.

Jay Franze (59:31):
I mean, I don't remember the opener's name, but
he was still learning.
He's a local but, he was verygood for still learning.

Was he as good as you, Jay?

Jay Franze (59:44):
Well, come on, let's be real now that's a very, very
hard, hard level to reach.
You've got to lay on the floorto reach that level.
He was very good.
He was definitely better than Iam sure yeah.
And then there was the girl whohosted the night.

Tiffany Mason (01:00:09):
I sorry if she's listening, but did not find her
to be funny.

Jay Franze (01:00:20):
She was.
She wasn't trying to have funshe was trying to be funny.
Yeah, the others were justhaving fun.
They would say right, the, eventhe the opener.
The local guy was telling jokesbut he was laughing at himself.
He's laughing at things.
She seemed like she was angry,angry stuff you know, okay,
angry joke Not very funny.
And you're the one supposed tobe hyping up the crowd.

She was defeating her purpose.

Overall, I thought the entire show was good Good
overall Very fun.
First one that I left thinking,man, I want to go back.
The first one I would go backIf they were back in town again.
Man, I want to go back, Uh-huh.
First one I would go back.
If they were back in town againtomorrow night, I would go.

Well, I had a very similar experience.
So Thursday I got a textmessage from my girlfriend and
she was like hey, I have anextra ticket to Forest Frank,
Would you want to come?
And I was like yeah, yeah, Iwould like to come.
It's another Christian artist,so if you don't know the name,
that's why.
But he does have two songs onsecular radio, I think, so you

(01:01:20):
may have heard those.
But anyway, I was very excited.

Just like the fact that you say secular radio, like
any of the crew members knowwhat that means.

Secular radio is anything but a Christian station
.

It just sounds very sophisticated the way you just
throw it out there like that.

Oh well, I am very sophisticated.
I don't know if you've spentvery much time with me, but I am
a very sophisticated kind oflady.

Tony Scott (01:01:44):
Tiffany, you're fired.

Goodbye.
Trump knows me by name.

AI Trump, ai Trump, ai Trump.

No lawsuits here so, um, we went to the concert
that day.
I had listened to some of thesongs and it was funny because
one of the songs that Iabsolutely love now I did not
like just listening to it, likeon apple music, whatever.
Went to the show recommendationin the wild.

What's the name of it?

no l's, we ain't taking.
No l's, no, no, no, that one'snot, that one's not um, but this
is like a rap song, so it'slike a christian rap.
I don't know crap, it's rap, nohe's not christian rap no, it's
not crap, no, it's not um, buthe's very clever with his words,

(01:02:38):
very, very clever.
So you know, that's a, that's ahome run for me right there
felt the same way that, like Iwas like oh man, if he was
performing again tomorrow night,I think I'd buy tickets.
So he's actually going to beperforming at the I State Fair
and yours truly is from Iowa andI would maybe go with my
daughter and my mom and go seeit.

Don't worry, I don't want to go.
Okay, this is the second timeyou've excluded me tonight.

It's a girl's trip, Jay.
You want to hang out with mymom?

at a Forrest Frank concert.
I might how old is she Justthrow that out there, you know.

She's in her 60s, it's not that bad.
She just had a knee replacementso she got a new knee.
She's mobile.

Joints are lubed.

Oh gosh, oh gosh.

Not that kind of lube, the gliding.

Oh gosh, Not that kind of look.

And off to the left the gliding, yeah.

So we've been listening to the music now Like
I just I can't get out of myhead, and every time it was the
coolest.
Oh, and did you see my reel?
I feel like you did see my reelbecause you see all my stuff,
but did you see that he pulledup Logic Pro and he was showing
how he creates a song?
I did yes, and I was nerding outbecause I was so excited.

(01:04:01):
I was like that's what I use,but this is the funniest part.
Okay, this is so funny.
Okay, I've been using logic profor probably two years, right,
and that's how I you brag aboutthis.
That's disappointing I know, Iknow I'm okay with it, though I
feel good about my choices.
So, um, I'm watching.

(01:04:23):
Okay, now when you're in logicpro and you have like a track,
you have different controls onthe track and you can make it
play by itself or you cansilence it or whatever.
You can choose whatever tracksyou want to play and whatever
tracks you want muted.
So I knew that the M was formute and that works and I don't
really need a workaround.
So I've never really exploredwhat the S is for until Forrest

(01:04:48):
Frank is sitting thereexplaining.
He goes okay, let's solo outjust this track, and he clicks
on the s and I was like, oh mygosh, oh my gosh.
So not only did I get a concert, I learned how to use logic pro
while I was there.
Wow, I know, I thought it wasso funny that I had used it for

(01:05:12):
two years.
I know.
I know I knew you'd be prettypumped.
For me it's odd, but you know,if you haven't needed it then
you don't look for a solution.
So it's been fine.
But I did use it already thisweek.
I was pretty pumped about itand I was like, let me just hit
the S.

Let me just solo this up here real quick.

But it was also interesting because he was
talking about multiple pianoparts, I believe, and so he was
like let me take a couple ofthose out.
And it made sense to me becausewhen we were talking you had
talked to.
I said what makes a cleanertrack sound, or whatever, and
you had said you know, ifthere's 12 guitars playing, I
take a couple of them out.

(01:05:56):
And so it was interesting thathe had a couple of piano pieces
and he took a couple out.
I thought that was interesting.
Oh, drums, that's what it was.
It was drums.

Yeah, there is definitely times when mixing
music that sometimes it's betterto take things out, remove
things from the party.

Well times, it's better to take things out,
Remove things from the party.
Well, all I could think of is Iwas like God.
I wish Jay was here.
I wish Jay was here.
I just want to like.

Whoa, whoa.
You've excluded me twice.
Now all of a sudden, you needme there when it comes to work.
I got it.

No, I just want to pick your brain and be like
okay now, why is it like that?
Oh, that's what that's called.
Oh, wait a minute, Like I don'tknow.
I don't know, it was just sointeresting.
But I feel like every time Ihave a question, you always have
an answer.
So I know that if I would havehad a question, just ask Jay.
That's the new segment.
Just ask Jay.
There you go.

(01:06:49):
Speaking of that we getfeedback from time to time.

We should probably read some of it on the air.
Yeah, crew members, if youwould like us to do that, let us
know, put it in the chat orsend us a message on the socials
and we will consider doing that.

Only if you tell us you want it.

I always send the feedback to Tiffany, but I never
read any of it.
Maybe we should.

Yeah.

People do that right.
People still do that.

They don't want to hear people do that they want to
hear their name on the air andthat's why every time we do the
question of the day and weforget somebody or skip over
somebody, I can get or jaycensors them.

I'm an engineer out of nashville.
I censor the messages oh I'mnorth nashville I'm in kentucky
now, yeah.
Well, what do you have going onthis weekend, jay?
What are you doing for memorialday?

you know, I didn't even realize it was memorial day
, but I'm gonna take it.
I'll take a extra, an extraweekend day, why not?
Yeah, right I don't know whatthe wife has planned.
You know that's a always a wifequestion to me.
There are a few shows here intown.
I will probably consider goingto.
Maybe stop by laurie'sroadhouse not a sponsor, but

(01:08:06):
could be.
I really like laurie'sroadhouse.

It's a great venue here in town now um, I
need to ask is it reallylaurie's roadhouse?
I feel like maybe I've askedyou this, or is there a weird
spelling that you always saylaurie's, or is it your
bostonian accent that makes yousay it like that?

um l-o-r-i that's laurie so am I saying it wrong?
Laurie that's what I said it'sokay.

People always make fun of me for how I say
roof like the roof of a house.
I don't know if I say roof orroof right now, but I think I
would say roof I would say roofyeah, red roof in a lot of
people say rough the roof, therough of the house, the roof of
the house, I don't know.

(01:08:57):
So you always say Laurie, andI'm always like I wonder if
there's like a weird spelling orif that's just our little J in
his Bostonian accent.

I just can't speak apparently, laurie, laurie.

Laurie.

Laurie.

Laurie't speak apparently Lori, lori, lori.

Lori Lori's Roadhouse.

Lori's Roadhouse.

Lori Lori, lori Lori's Roadhouse.

I have a friend from Michigan and her
brother-in-law's name is Alanand she always says A-lan, and
so I was like same thing.
I'm like so is his name spelleddifferently, or do you just say
Alan weird?
And she's like, oh no, I sayAlan weird, I was like okay, so
every time she talks about himhis name is Aylan.

It's a very large venue, but it's in a strip mall.
Oh weird, it used to be aKroger.
Ah, well, well but I mean it'sa large venue, I mean the inside
is massive oh gosh.

I mean, it's truly a large, massive, I mean
they're standing in the producesection a couple cucumbers and I
know I just have cucumbers onmy brain, because that's what
Hannah and I.
Pick up a couple cucumbers andhit the road.
Whoa, whoa, I know I just havecucumbers on my brain because
that's what Hannah and I had topick her up a cucumber tonight.
We've been on a kick.
Now, when Mr Mason, he's out ofthe house, so when Mr Mason

(01:10:26):
leaves, I cook for Hannah, andso it's a lot of naan bread,
hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes,feta cheese, greek dressing,
balsamic dressing, something tothat extent.
And then there's this shreddedchicken I like.
So whatever I make her, I justthrow the shredded chicken on
and she's happy because shedoesn't eat a lot of meat, and
so we're both happy and that'swhat we eat.

(01:10:48):
So we were out of cucumbers, soI had to pick her up a cucumber
tonight.
So she had a cucumber when shegot home and she can have a
cucumber at her lunch tomorrow.

I told you I was sick this weekend, like
violently sick that's because Iate before I went to see Jay do
his show.
I stopped at a, not a sponsor.
I stopped at Popeye's.

Okay, okay, fair enough, fair enough.

But I ate what appeared to be a raw piece of
chicken Like.
I was eating chicken nuggets orchicken boneless chicken wings
or whatever you want to callthem.
I call them boneless chickenwings, but I got yelled at the
other day and said they're justchicken nuggets.
At that point they're not wings.

Yeah.

So, anyways, I got a large order of chicken nuggets
or boneless chicken wings.
Chunks of chicken and I waseating them and I was eating
them.
And then I ate one.
I could feel.
As soon as I bit into it Icould feel that it was raw.
And right after that show I wasnot feeling good.
The next day I couldn't get outof bed for two days three days,

(01:11:59):
I mean.
I was out.

Even on Monday I get up.
I started my day on Monday andhad to turn around and go right
back.
Oh no, wow, you must up yourgut by him so, anyways, that's
the deal with that.

The other thing you it made me laugh.

I may have told you this, I may have told everybody
this, but please bear with me ifI, if I did.
You said earlier, you turnedand you punched your kid, or
whatever you're for chomping onchips.
Yeah well, we were at thedinner table the other night and
my daughter Bella has got adisorder.

(01:12:34):
She was just diagnosed with FND, which is functional neurologic
disorder, and sometimes youdevelop tics and they come and
go.
It's kind of like a Tourette'stic, but they go away, so they
don't typically stay.
But we're at the dinner tableand she just turned to the right

(01:13:00):
and just punched my my 10 yearold right in the face.
And the 10 year old I I'm sureI told you, but my 10 year old
just turned back to her and justlooked at her and says tell me,
that's not going to be a newtick.
She just was as calm as can beabout it.
I mean as calm as can be.
I would have lost my mind, Iwouldn't have thought it was a

(01:13:20):
tick, but it was a tick.
She I mean she sometimes willjust turn and, like, hit your
arm or something.
She's very sweet yeah she's thesweetest daughter I have.
Out of the three daughters Ihave, that one's the sweet one
and it was just like bam.

Oh my gosh, there you go.
Fair enough, so you're tellingme.
I just have to tell my family Ihave F and D when they're
eating chips.

I have ticks, yeah, and there goes the bag, oh my.

God, have you ever watched?
Hannah and I used to watchCooking with Baylen, but now
it's.

Oh yeah, yeah, we're not allowed to watch it anymore
, because if my daughter seessomebody have a tick, she will
develop it.

Well, there's this one where there's an old
YouTube video, like when she wasprobably being discovered or
whatever, and it's calledCooking with tourettes.
You should look it up.
It is hysterical.
She has these eggs and she'sshe's trying to not crack them,
she's trying to like avoid hertick, but she like wants to

(01:14:26):
smack it on her mom's face.
And then she's like, oh my gosh, let me put this egg down
because she knows, you know, sheknow, she's aware of it, she's
trying to stop it, but you knowthey're very impulsive, like
they can't, they don't have verymuch control over it.
So, yes, that was Hannah andI's thing for a while.
Oh my gosh, we would watch thatand watch it, and watch it.

We watched it before my daughter was affected by any
of this stuff.

Yeah.

And the theory behind it is this stuff is
manageable and you can treat itbut they come and go.
Yeah, but I picked her up fromschool the other day and we're
driving down the road and shejust out of the blue.
I was on the phone and sheyelled something.
I was like what the hell shewas?
Yeah, that one scared me too.
I'm like I'm glad she can laughabout it yes, agreed it's her

(01:15:18):
new party trick the only reasonI'm even telling you, or anybody
else, is because she set up atiktok account where she
actually talks about it yeahshe's trying to bring light to
the, to the condition.
She's actually met a girlthat's from her school that has

(01:15:38):
the same condition and they hungout for the first time.
They didn't.
They didn't know each otheruh-huh, I mean the condition is
fairly rare, right?
So the fact that she's metsomebody else that has and stuff
, she was excited to get to talkto somebody going through the
same thing right.

Well, I wouldn't say misery loves, but it's kind
of that scenario where it's justnice to know you're not alone.

Yep.

Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Well, speaking of being alone,I'm alone and I cannot wait
until Mr Mason comes home.
He comes home on Friday.
He's been up in Charlotte,north Carolina, and he's going
to be coming back down and thenwe are going to take the boat
out and I'm excited we're partof this new boat club and they
have I can't do it, you're doingit again.

We're going to take the boat out.
We're part of the boat club.
Is this the yacht?
Oh no, this is the one thatfell three feet short of a yacht
.
I got it.
No, we're good.
No, we're good, no.

It's not a yacht Jay.

It only fits 50 people.
No, I got it.
I remember the conversation,though.

Well, this one I'm very excited about because
the other boat club didn't haveit and this one has it, and it's
a double decker pontoon and ithas a slide.

Oh, I forgot, You're from Florida, I'm from Florida.
Those are big deals in Florida,the pontoons yeah because you
guys like to float and drink.

But I'm very excited Preston is going to
bring up his girlfriend and mygirlfriend's going to come, and
so it's going to be fun.

Your husband's out of town, so you can bring your
girlfriend.

No, my husband will be back in town.
I know I have to call himcaptain mason then nice.

I told my wife.
I said look, if I go get mydoctor, you're gonna call me dr
j.
She goes, I will never call youdoctor.

I'm like thanks, thanks, babe that could be
something for a nora jones night.

That's what I thought.
Let's make something out of it.
She's like no.

Right, wow, are these archivists?
That's what I'm saying.
We bring balance to our spouses, jay, so you just got to force
it.

She's an archivist.
I mean, what the hell?
Yes, the crowd that she hangswith is not the same.
I'm out with big j andlistening to dick jokes and five
finger death punch she's out ata conference talking about how
they preserve paper or somethingI don't know, not my thing
nothing.

It makes me happier than when I say just
something so vulgar to Sean andhe just cannot reply to it.
It is my absolute favorite.
There was a lady on socialmedia and she was like lap
dancing.
Her husband, she's like God.
I'm so happy that he puts upwith me and it's very similar in
our world.
He just got a wild one, but hedeals with it and he, he

(01:18:36):
balances me out and I think thatI probably bounce him out a
little bit, too a little bit offun it's like I have two wives.
You both abuse me that's why youlike it, that's why you come
back every wednesday yeah, yeah,that's why you like it, why you
come back every Wednesday.

Yeah, well, we've done it.
What time is it now?
